As for speculative options for the Lions should they part ways with Jim Schwartz, Mike Silver expects the Lions to target an offensive minded coach and specifically mentions that 49ers OC Greg Roman“would be very, very interested in this job.”

Penn State HC Bill O’Brien’s name has been brought up as a possible option in the past, but it appears as though he’ll either take the Texans job or remain in State College.

Chargers OC Ken Whisenhunt and Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell could also be guys to watch in the coming weeks as their names have been connected to potential head coaching jobs as well.
